Pulse Pressure: Role in the Hemodynamic and Applied Possibilities in unctional Diagnostics

R.V. Khursa

Abstract

Hemodynamic role of pulse pressure as the transition function of neurohumoral regulation and circulatory system-forming element is substantiated. This fact became an argument for the use of pulse pressure in the proposed method of linear regression of blood pressure (BP) parameters (QACBPP — quantitative analysis of correlations of BP parameters in the stratified hemodynamic space). Using QACBPP method we can give a description (analytical/graphical) of individual hemodynamic status in the time interval of observation. By the coefficients of the resulting regression, there is being carried out functional diagnostics of hemodynamics type according to the proposed classification and determined the pressure in the area of decaying pulse wave. Normotensive individuals with pathological types according to on QACBPP, indicating latent hemodynamic abnormalities, need supervision and examination, and the different types of hemodynamics in patients with hypertension require differential treatment. The method opens new perspectives for the analysis of the processes occurring in the circulation and may be useful in basic researches of hemodynamics of the cardiovascular system, preventive medicine, cardiology.
